To be able to appreciate what GEMS Wellington International School has to offer, it is essential to allow approximately 1 hour for the tour.

Booking your place at the Reception Counter or by telephone to the school switchboard +971-4-348-4999 is essential to maintain a high level of individual attention to questions. For those who are making a short visit to Dubai the school will be pleased to arrange tours outside these times by prior arrangement with The Registrar.
